rebirth of the grenade launcher!

[0likid]

i would just like everyone to know that the gl is still quite an impressive feature!
you might be saying:
"yea, we knew that, but thats before 1.2 came out!"
"who even uses the gl anymore?"

well i do. Its still pretty good against infantry, it just doesnt take out as many dudes in a shot. I mean, a nice shot with a gl would kill a small group (but mainly single guys), even now after the gl was nerfed.

the karkhand n00btube is still alive and well. So lets try and annoy everyone by using the n00tube again and remember how great 1.12 was!

ps
i find that grenades launched by the gl dont explode on impact upon medium transports (vodniks, humvees etc) and will rebound and explode when it hits a solid object (like walls) can anyone confirm?

Re: rebirth of the grenade launcher!

I started using GL after 1.2, because no one else would use it much.

I always use the things most people don't, that's why I play Engineer so much, to even it out.

Re: rebirth of the grenade launcher!

i cant confirm but i have found the GL to be not as fun since the nerf. Pre-nerf it had predictable trajectory and explosion, was accurate and suited twitch gameplay. Now i find the trajectory a bit weird (like its slow) and unpredictable. Sometimes they dont explode (or maybe they just disappear), when i have fired over medium distance (20-30m+) prob a bug, i dunno. I used to enjoy n00b tubing bunny hops. Since 1.2 i mainly use G3 as the delay to switch between n00btube and rifle got me killed too often. However, it still kills

I still love the GL ...its one of the few weapons that can still make the PKM abusers cry

Re: rebirth of the grenade launcher!

The gl is a weird one since the patch for me anyway theres a deffinate lag between me firing and the actuall thing shoting like a third of a second or somthing.

Re: rebirth of the grenade launcher!

Its still great. Get used to the timings and you can still upset people with it.
I never used to use it at point blank range and jump out of the blast. But I do it now, just to get people pi$$ed and to get revenge for them moaning and nerfing the thing down.
Its funny how people moaned about it shouldn't be used for single targets. But now thats the only use for it, as the splash damage is alot smaller. The only way to kill more than one person is if two guys are having a backdoor mountain moment

Re: rebirth of the grenade launcher!

Ive been using it a lot since 1.2 was released, great for taking out pkmers. The ak101 is awesome at close range and smoke is useful for a ton of different things. Im surprised more people don't play assault, oh well more fun for me.
